Goal-achievement is conceptualized through optimal regulation of thoughts, perceptions, emotions and behaviors that are consistent with a positive outlook and state of well-being. The program incorporates support systems for athletes/artists from teammates, coaches, and/or family members. Approaching mental wellness holistically, the optimization programs at TOPPS are developed to be applicable to all aspects and levels of life performance for artists, athletes and others who have specialized skill sets in unique cultures, such as business professionals, first responders, and others interested in optimizing their performance. TOPPS has been successfully implemented in both recreational and elite populations, including Olympic medalists, world and national champions, and professionals.
